Like the HomePlug AV technology used in establis-hed devolo dLAN devices, devolo Magic uses thehousehold mains supply for data transmission andsecures ideal performance and stability in locationswhere network cables are not viable or desiredand/or the Wi-Fi frequently falls short due to cei-lings and walls.

To set up a devolo Magic network, you need atleast two devolo Magic devices. For technicalreasons, devices from the devolo Magic seriesare not compatible with dLAN devices.
